Girl Burned Alive for Rejecting a Marriage Proposal

Pakistan has witnessed another brutal killing of a girl in the province of Punjab. The story revealed that she was burned alive by a man who asked her hand in marriage and she decided to reject him. The man doused her in petrol and set her alight, killing her in the process.

The country was already not over the last brutal murder of a girl, who lost her life in the name of ‘honour killing.’

The most recent incident took place on Saturday in the Town of Toba Tek Singh.  

Sidra Shaukat, an 18-year-old girl, was at home without her parents when the 22-year-old Fayyaz Aslam decided to enter her house without permission. He doused her in petrol and set her alight, later revealing that she rejected his marriage proposal.

The police official said, “She was taken to a local hospital which referred her to the main hospital but she died before reaching there. The boy loved her and had also sent a proposal to marry her, but that was rejected by her family.”

The girl’s father later revealed why the proposal was rejected saying, “He used to harass my daughter – yesterday he came in the afternoon and threatened dire consequences after we asked him to avoid coming again.”
